I am currently working on medieval epistles and documentary culture, including studies of Anne of Bohemia’s correspondence and of the distinction between “forgery” and “fiction” in medieval letters. Other ongoing projects include an edition of Richard Rolle’s Lamentations commentary and a book project on medieval theory of the archive. I am also co-editing (with Pavel Soukup) an essay collection entitled Situating Religious Controversy: Textual Transmission and Networks of Readership, 1378-1536, under contract with Brepols.
